Usually means repositioning of the hinges and hard to get right if the door has a bow.

Hard to get right, bowed or not, when repositioning hinges on an
existing door.


If the upper hinge is further out, the door swings open. If further in, it swings shut. Just imagine what would happen if the situatoin were exaggerated. Shouldn't be hard to sort.


What do people do to plug the old screw holes ?. I find those dowels
meant for joining wood, hammered into a slightly undersized hole
with some pva does the trick.


matches, a bit chiselled off an offuct, filler, nothing, etc. Matches most often.
